The Dallas Cowboys are expected to hire former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as their new defensive coordinator.
The Dallas Cowboys are bringing Matt Eberflus in for an interview for their defensive coordinator position on Monday, and if all goes according to plan, he’s expected to secure the gig, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Dallas will need to find a new defensive coordinator for 2025, too. Mike Zimmer told Ed Werder that he would not return to the Cowboys and would likely retire.

The NFC North won't get any easier for the Vikings after their rival Chicago Bears hired coveted Lions coordinator Ben Johnson.
The re-hiring of Eberflus would follow the Cowboys’ objective of maintaining continuity with their scheme. Eberflus runs a similar 4-3 scheme as previous coordinator Mike Zimmer and that’s part of the reason why he’s a favorite.
The Bears on Tuesday announced the additions of defensive coordinator Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Additionally, Richard Hightower will continue to serve as special teams coordinator.
